Panda's only live in remote mountains inside of China. After deforestation and hunting periods that have greatly diminished panda populations, China is the only country they now survive in. Because of this limited territory, China has great control over panda movement. And because panda's have not been outside of China, and were not known about by the rest of the world's population until a little over a century ago, they have not reproduced outside of China. Also, there has been little success in breeding Pandas in captivity. So in short, because no nation that has received a panda as a "gift" from China (only happening once recently in past few decades) has had healthy/living offspring, there are no "free pandas" outside of China. All pandas that are given to other countries now are typically on "lease" for a 10-year period, and any offspring born from the leased parents are to be returned to China after 4 years. Taiwan recently received pandas as a "gift", so if the offspring of these animals were healthy and prospered, they would be the first free pandas outside of China. Well San Diego zoo also has pandas.If pandas belong to China idiots belong to the USA.

Actually, China DOES own all of the Giant Pandas (not sure aboutRed Pandas, which are a completely different species anyway).Pandas are a highly endangered species, and since …they are locatedin the wild only in China, the Chinese government can placewhatever restrictions they see fit in order to protect and conservethe species. (As far as I know, this is true of any speciesindigenous to one particular part of the world, like kangaroos inAustralia). Any pandas seen in zoos outside of China are on loan to that zoofor a certain period of time (during which the zoo pays Chinayearly), and are then returned to China. Any panda cubs born inzoos have to be returned to China after a while (I think fouryears).
